THE STORY

“What’s happening to me?” a young man named Jonas asks as he looks into the eyes of his Aunt Claire—a woman who’s been dead for over twelve years. Like most people, Jonas had no idea his time had come, nor is he prepared for what he’s about to face next. He had assumed he would be taken to an afterlife full of puffy clouds and golden harps, but instead, he is met with a cold, terrifying revelation: “Heaven isn’t a place you can go to escape your fears,” his aunt says, “it is a place for those who have already faced them.”

Little did Jonas know, in order to get to heaven, he would need to find the courage to walk through hell first.

The Choice is a novel that takes us through some of our worst fears in order to find a beauty and hope that transcends even the most heart wrenching pain. Cross over to the other side and explore the meaning of life from the perspective that only death can provide.

INVISIBLE MATTER & HIDDEN DIMENSIONS

The Choice takes readers on an exciting, otherworldly voyage through the portals of death and into the afterlife. But the novel is actually steeped in real science—involving hidden dimensions and invisible matter—realities that are just now being uncovered in top research facilities like CERN. From the physical composition of spirits, to the way in which they speak and travel, The Choice explores the implications of the latest discoveries coming from top physicists all around the world.

Sometimes the facts are even more intriguing than the fiction.

A 1,500 YEAR-OLD SECRET

While The Choice is set in the afterlife, it is not a religious novel—though the history of religion pervades its pages. From the Torah to the Qur’an, to the Old and New Testaments—The Choice takes readers on an enlightening expedition to understand just what has been taught about the afterlife through the ages—including an ancient doctrine that was so threatening, an entire empire murdered its own citizens and excommunicated its religious adherents in order to keep it a secret.

The anathema against the doctrine is still in effect today.
